I definitely appreciate the advice on the lift. Still a rookie :/ Having said that I will do research into a full spring/shock lift. Any recommendations for me to check out? I would agree that I see a bunch of people here are fairly close to my location. You guys ever get together and do some off roading/meet ups?

Ugh so many things on the list to do need to save up some $$$ Still undecided on how I feel about the chrome mirror covers. They came like that from the dealership and I don't see any jeeps around with those but I wonder if they are too "blingy" for the tough zombie invasion response jeep of death look that I am going for in the future.

OME (Old Man Emu) "econo" lift. Brand new I got my for $750 of the JBA website. Research OME. Lots here have a lift with their parts underneath. A quick Youtube search and you'll see some cool videos showing how searious Old Man Emu is.

Not so much the Jeepforum guys, sorry guys, still haven't met a bunch of you lol, but the LOST group used to get together a lot. Haven't seen them much recently though, everyone seems to be working a lot lately.

Anyways, definitely head to jeepinbyal.com for lifts. They basically have everything you need. They have full spring/shock lifts ranging from around $700 all the way up to $4000+ for a 4" coilover lift. Iron man, and OME(Old Man Emu) lifts are popular with OME being the tried and true. All depends on how much you want to spend and how high you want to go.

As you can see by my sig I went with an OME/Bilstein combo with some others to get about 3-3.5" of lift. I don't think I posted the pics in this topic yet, so here they are.

I checked out OME. Seems like a serious kit indeed, but it says its only 1.5" lift? Or am I missing something? I won't be doing that much off roading really that why I was thinking spacer kit like Daystar with Bilsteins on the rear so I can mount bigger tires. This is my daily driver but I would like to have some off road capability if need be.

EDIT: I see now its possible to go with OME springs and Bilsteins combination. Would run about 700$.

How much lift are you looking for? They say 1.5" for Australian regulations. If you opt for the 927 front springs(heavy duty gasser springs) you get about 2-2.5" of lift.

Coming from someone with the heavy duty OME springs and Bilsteins all around, the ride is A LOT better than stock. It's stiffer, but not killer. I think with some more weight on the Jeep it would ride even better than it does now too, but I can't say that for sure...

I am looking for about 2" of lift so that would be perfect. So if I order the OME lift kit from JBA for 750$ that would be all I would need? Sorry for the rookie questions, just new to all this. Would this be overkill for a daily driver? BTW nice looking truck you got there!

Thank you. Not exactly sure how high you can go without "needing" upper a-arms, Tommudd would be the best to answer that. If you want to go with the OME/OME setup then yes that would be good. Just make sure you order the N132L rear shocks. Most did the 927 front springs. Not sure what most went with for the rear, I know I chose the 731s. Make sure you get bump stops as well. The teraflex fronts work well.

OME kit would be great for you. Teraflex bumpstops for the front. I think they were $20 or so. For the rear you can use hockey pucks (google search it), or buy JBA rear bumpstops, which you would then have to trim a little bit. I went with the hockey pucks to save $30 and just to be a little more redneck since I grew up playing hockey.

You don't NEED the JBA A-Arms with that lift, but if you can afford it, get them. Some people have them, some don't with that lift (I don't), which is another great thing about it.

Not at all, as a matter of fact if this is a daily driver the JBA lift would be even better than a spacer. Yeah it's more expensive but you're not just getting the extra clearance, it's a much better suspension setup all around that'll make for a better ride on and off the road. I don't have my lift yet due to the money, but I'm not wasting my time with a spacer lift, just saving for the JBA.

He's not talking about a spacer lift. He's talking about the Old Man Emu suspension lift with new springs and shocks.
